If you’re like most people, you probably have a few placeholder entries in your Quicken account that you don’t need or want. Maybe you filled in a bank account number for an account that doesn’t exist yet, or you created a placeholder for an investment that’s still waiting on your return. Whatever the reason, it’s time to delete those placeholder entries. Here’s how:

  1. Open Quicken and click the File tab.
  2. Click the Options button and then click the Accounts tab.
  3. In the Accounts list, select the account from which you want to delete a placeholder entry. 4. Click the Edit button next to the entry and then click Delete Entry on the menu that appears. 5. Confirm your decision by clicking OK. ..
